ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-4887-2]
Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of
Wisconsin
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of
Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 300f
et seq., and 40 CFR part 142, subpart B, the National Primary Drinking
Water Regulations (NPDWR), that the State of Wisconsin is revising its
approved Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) primacy program. The
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), has adopted drinking
water regulations for Lead and Copper, 26 synthetic organic chemicals
(SOCs) and 7 inorganic chemicals (IOCs), and 8 volatile organic
contaminants (VOCs) that correspond to the NPDWR for Lead and Copper,
SOCs, IOCs, and VOCs, and promulgated by the US Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) on June 7, 1991 (56 FR 26460-26564), on
January 30, 1991, (56 FR 3526-3597) and, as amended on July 1, 1991,
(56 FR 30266-30281). The USEPA has completed its review of Wisconsin's
PWSS primacy program revision and has determined that these sets of
state program revisions are not less stringent than the corresponding
Federal regulations.
The USEPA has determined that the Wisconsin rule revision meets the
requirements of the Federal rule. Therefore, the USEPA has determined
that these sets of state program revisions are no less stringent than
the corresponding Federal regulations and is proposing to approve the
WDNR's rule revision.
All interested parties are invited to submit written comments on
these proposed determinations, and may request a public hearing on or
before June 20, 1994. If a public hearing is requested and granted, the
corresponding determination shall not become effective until such time
following the hearing, at which the Regional Administrator issues an
order affirming or rescinding this action. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator.
Requests for public hearing should be addressed to: Melanie J. La
Force (WD-17J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Any request for a public hearing shall include the following: (1)
The name, address, and telephone number of the individual,
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing. (2) A brief
statement of the requesting person's interest in the Regional
Administrator's determinations and of information that the requesting
person intends to submit at such hearing. (3) The signature of the
individual making the request; or, if the request is made on behalf of
an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible
official of the organization or other entity.
Notice of any hearing shall be given not less than fifteen (15)
days prior to the time scheduled for the hearing. Such notice will be
made by the Regional Administrator in the Federal Register and in
newspapers of general circulation in the State of Wisconsin. A notice
will be sent to the person(s) requesting the hearing as well as to the
State of Wisconsin. The hearing notice will include a statement of
purpose, information regarding the time and location, and the address
and telephone number where interested persons may obtain further
information. The Regional Administrator will issue an order affirming
or rescinding his determination upon review of the hearing record.
Should the determination be affirmed, it will become effective as of
the date of the order.
Should no timely and appropriate request for a hearing be received,
and should the Regional Administrator not elect to hold a hearing on
his own motion, these determinations shall become effective on June 20,
1994. Please bring this notice to the attention of any persons known by
you to have an interest in these determinations.
